FL Studio Missing Sample Path Extractor

This small project provides a script to extract the paths of missing samples from FL Studio .flp project files. The tool simplifies the process of resolving missing sample issues by listing paths, even for samples that are not easily visible in FL Studio.

Features

• Extract Sample Paths: Automatically scans FL Studio project files for all sample paths.
• Identify Missing Samples: Highlights channels with missing sample paths.
• Save to File: Outputs the extracted paths to a text file for easy reference.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• pyflp library for parsing FL Studio project files

Usage

1. create pyflstudio.py and copy the python code into it.

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install pyflp

Usage

1. Run the script with the path to an .flp file as an argument (put the FLP file in the same direcotry as pyflstudio.py):

   python pyflstudio.py path/to/project.flp

2. The script will process the project file and output the paths of the samples to sample_paths.txt.

Example

python pyflstudio.py my_project.flp

• Output file: sample_paths.txt
• Contents:

  C:\Samples\Kick.wav
  D:\Audio\Snare.wav
  

Handling Errors

If the script encounters any issues while parsing the .flp file or saving paths, detailed error messages will be displayed in the terminal.

Common Issues

• Corrupt or unsupported .flp file: Ensure the file is a valid FL Studio project.
• Missing pyflp library: Install it using pip install pyflp.
• Use this fix if needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! demberto/PyFLP#183 (comment)
